Simon reported the md io stats accounting issue:
"
I'm seeing "iostat -x -k 1" print this after a RAID1 rebuild on 4.0-rc5.
It's not abnormal other than it's 3-disk, with one being SSD (sdc) and

The cause is commit "18c0b223cf9901727ef3b02da6711ac930b4e5d4" uses the
generic_start_io_acct to account the disk stats rather than the open code,
but it also introduced the increase to .in_flight[rw] which is needless to
md. So we re-use the open code here to fix it.

If ->run() fails, it can either free the data structures it
allocated, or leave that task to ->free() which will be called
on failures.
However:
md.c calls ->free() even if ->private_data is NULL, which
causes problems in some personalities.
raid0.c frees the data, but doesn't clear ->private_data,
which will become a problem when we fix md.c
So better fix both these issues at once.

Rather than using mddev_lock() to take the reconfig_mutex

But as I am trying to clean up any racy code and will soon

- use safemode_timer to call md_safemode_timeout() rather than
calling it directly, to ensure it never races with itself.

No rdev attributes need locking for 'show', though
state_show() might benefit from ensuring it sees a

Most attributes can be read safely without any locking.
A race might lead to a slightly out-dated value, but nothing wrong.

The only access in md_seq_show that could suffer from races
not protected by ->lock is walking the rdev list.
This can receive sufficient protection from 'rcu'.

Now reading /proc/mdstat will never block in md_seq_show.

->pers is already protected by ->reconfig_mutex, and
cannot possibly change when there are threads running or
outstanding IO.
However there are some places where we access ->pers
not in a thread or IO context, and where ->reconfig_mutex
is unnecessarily heavy-weight: level_show and md_seq_show().
So protect all changes, and those accesses, with ->lock.
This is a step toward taking those accesses out from under
reconfig_mutex.

Gather all the changes that can happen atomically and might

Now that the ->stop function only frees the private data,
rename is accordingly.
Also pass in the private pointer as an arg rather than using
mddev->private. This flexibility will be useful in level_store().
Finally, don't clear ->private. It doesn't make sense to clear
it seeing that isn't what we free, and it is no longer necessary
to clear ->private (it was some time ago before ->to_remove was
introduced).
Setting ->to_remove in ->free() is a bit of a wart, but not a
big problem at the moment.

Each md personality has a 'stop' operation which does two
things:
1/ it finalizes some aspects of the array to ensure nothing
is accessing the ->private data
2/ it frees the ->private data.
All the steps in '1' can apply to all arrays and so can be
performed in common code.
This is useful as in the case where we change the personality which
manages an array (in level_store()), it would be helpful to do
step 1 early, and step 2 later.
So split the 'step 1' functionality out into a new mddev_detach().

There is no locking around calls to merge_bvec_fn(), so
it is possible that calls which coincide with a level (or personality)
change could go wrong.
So create a central dispatch point for these functions and use
rcu_read_lock().
If the array is suspended, reject any merge that can be rejected.
If not, we know it is safe to call the function.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
There is currently no locking around calls to the 'congested'
bdi function. If called at an awkward time while an array is
being converted from one level (or personality) to another, there
is a tiny chance of running code in an unreferenced module etc.
So add a 'congested' function to the md_personality operations
structure, and call it with appropriate locking from a central
'mddev_congested'.
When the array personality is changing the array will be 'suspended'
so no IO is processed.
If mddev_congested detects this, it simply reports that the
array is congested, which is a safe guess.
As mddev_suspend calls synchronize_rcu(), mddev_congested can
avoid races by included the whole call inside an rcu_read_lock()
region.
This require that the congested functions for all subordinate devices
can be run under rcu_lock. Fortunately this is the case.

This lock is used for (slightly) more than helping with writing
superblocks, and it will soon be extended further. So the
name is inappropriate.
Also, the _irq variant hasn't been needed since 2.6.37 as it is
never taking from interrupt or bh context.
So:
-rename write_lock to lock
-document what it protects
-remove _irq ... except in md_flush_request() as there
is no wait_event_lock() (with no _irq). This can be
cleaned up after appropriate changes to wait.h.

"Three fixes for md.
I did have a largish set of locking changes queued, but late testing
showed they weren't quite as stable as I thought and while I fixed
what I found, I decided it safer to delay them a release ...
particularly as I'll be AFK for a few weeks. So expect a larger batch

md: Check MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING as well as ->sync_thread.
md: fix semicolon.cocci warnings
md/raid5: fetch_block must fetch all the blocks handle_stripe_dirtying wants.
A recent change to md started the ->sync_thread from a asynchronously
from a work_queue rather than synchronously. This means that there
can be a small window between the time when MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is set
and when ->sync_thread is set.
So code that checks ->sync_thread might now conclude that the thread
has not been started and (because a lock is held) will not be started.
That is no longer the case.
Most of those places are best fixed by testing MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
as well. To make this completely reliable, we wake_up(&resync_wait)
after clearing that flag as well as after clearing ->sync_thread.
Other places are better served by flushing the relevant workqueue
to ensure that that if the sync thread was starting, it has now
started. This is particularly best if we are about to stop the
sync thread.

md_check_recovery will skip any recovery and also clear
MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED if MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set.
So when we clear _FROZEN, we must set _NEEDED and ensure that
md_check_recovery gets run.
Otherwise we could miss out on something that is needed.
In particular, this can make it impossible to remove a
failed device from an array is the 'recovery-needed' processing
didn't happen.

The main 'md' thread is needed for processing writes, so if it blocks
write requests could be delayed.
Starting a new thread requires some GFP_KERNEL allocations and so can
wait for writes to complete. This can deadlock.
So instead, ask a workqueue to start the sync thread.
There is no particular rush for this to happen, so any work queue
will do.
MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING is used to ensure only one thread is started.

In general we don't allow an array to be stopped if it is in use.
However if the array hasn't really been started yet, then any
apparent use is an anomily, probably due to 'udev' or similar
having a look to see what is there.
This means that if something goes wrong while assembling an array
it cannot reliably be un-assembled - STOP_ARRAY could fail.
There is no value here, so change do_md_stop() to succeed
despite concurrent opens if the array has not yet been
activated. i.e. if ->pers is NULL.

The way md devices are traditionally created in the kernel
is simply to open the device with the desired major/minor number.
This can be problematic as some support tools, notably udev and
programs run by udev, can open a device just to see what is there, and
find that it has created something. It is easy for a race to cause
udev to open an md device just after it was destroy, causing it to
suddenly re-appear.
For some time we have had an alternate way to create md devices
echo md_somename > /sys/modules/md_mod/paramaters/new_array
This will always use a minor number of 512 or higher, which mdadm
normally avoids.
Using this makes the creation-by-opening unnecessary, but does
not disable it, so it is still there to cause problems.
This patch disable probing for devices with a major of 9 (MD_MAJOR)
and a minor of 512 and up. This devices created by writing to
new_array cannot be re-created by opening the node in /dev.

When we write to a degraded array which has a bitmap, we
make sure the relevant bit in the bitmap remains set when
the write completes (so a 're-add' can quickly rebuilt a
temporarily-missing device).
If, immediately after such a write starts, we incorporate a spare,
commence recovery, and skip over the region where the write is
happening (because the 'needs recovery' flag isn't set yet),
then that write will not get to the new device.
Once the recovery finishes the new device will be trusted, but will
have incorrect data, leading to possible corruption.
We cannot set the 'needs recovery' flag when we start the write as we
do not know easily if the write will be "degraded" or not. That
depends on details of the particular raid level and particular write
request.
This patch fixes a corruption issue of long standing and so it
suitable for any -stable kernel. It applied correctly to 3.0 at
least and will minor editing to earlier kernels.

md: fix problem when adding device to read-only array with bitmap.
added a called to md_reap_sync_thread() which cause a reshape thread
to be interrupted (in particular, it could cause md_thread() to never even
call md_do_sync()).
However it didn't set MD_RECOVERY_INTR so ->finish_reshape() would not
know that the reshape didn't complete.
This only happens when mddev->ro is set and normally reshape threads
don't run in that situation. But raid5 and raid10 can start a reshape
thread during "run" is the array is in the middle of a reshape.
They do this even if ->ro is set.
So it is best to set MD_RECOVERY_INTR before abortingg the
sync thread, just in case.
Though it rare for this to trigger a problem it can cause data corruption
because the reshape isn't finished properly.
So it is suitable for any stable which the offending commit was applied to.

If mddev->ro is set, md_to_sync will (correctly) abort.
However in that case MD_RECOVERY_INTR isn't set.
If a RESHAPE had been requested, then ->finish_reshape() will be
called and it will think the reshape was successful even though
nothing happened.
Normally a resync will not be requested if ->ro is set, but if an
array is stopped while a reshape is on-going, then when the array is
started, the reshape will be restarted. If the array is also set
read-only at this point, the reshape will instantly appear to success,
resulting in data corruption.
Consequently, this patch is suitable for any -stable kernel.

If md-mod is unloaded while some process is in poll() or select(),

The procfs infrastructure ensures that ->poll won't be called after
remove_proc_entry, but doesn't provide a wait_queue_head for us to
use, and the waitqueue code doesn't provide a way to remove all
listeners from a waitqueue.
So we need to:
1/ make sure no further references to md_event_waiters are taken (by
setting md_unloading)
2/ wake up all processes currently waiting, and
3/ wait until all those processes have disconnected from our
wait_queue_head.
